A/N: Okay, I'm sorry for the long break. It wasn't writer's block, I just come to hate all my fanfics! ^^; Anywho, we're overhauling the two element thing. Each girl will have her original element only. For those who don't remember, that means Kerushii has fire, Roora has Lightning, and Kyashii has wind. I want to remind you that as the girls get older the story will not hide the darker side of their lives. Beware. The later chapters of this are going to be so much better.
Anywho, this is the last chapter I want to write like this. I really want to break it into the three viewpoints of the girls as they go through important changes in their lives? What changes? YOU'LL SEE! =D \A/N
"Ugh..."
"It is way too hot..."
The sun beat down on the trio, their sensei once again under the shade of an umbrella. To avoid sunburn, they had all packed one. Unfortunately, they'd seen the gates, so they had put theirs away. Drawing closer to Sunagakure.
"Ahh, the village hidden in the litter box..." Shii smirked. Almost there...
"Have some respect, we're on foreign grounds..." Kya replied, almost sarcastically. She was in a smug mood today. YAY, mood swings! They all arrived at the gates, Shikamaru and Temari would meet them at the Kazekage's building.
"I have to run to the hospital for a quick delivery. Patient wishes. Sorry!" Kya turned as they got close to the building, sprinting off.
Coming into view was the door of the Kazekage's building. Standing in front? Our dear old buddy, Puppet Master Kankuro.
"No miniskirts, pretty disappointed?" Shii called, standing apart from the boy.
"Actually, I'm pretty happy you two are covered." Kankuro retorted,
"HEY! I'm not involved in this!" Taka flailed her arms for an instant before Shii's hand grabbed the arm near her.
"It doesn't matter. I didn't intend to just use your friend and throw her a-"
"Bull sht!" Shii cut him off, pulling out a kunai. Truth was she was rearing for a fight when she got there, and Kankuro happened by.
"If you have a problem, you're taking it up with me," Temari pushed her way infront of Kankuro, "I sent him to the party. But I'm not worried about the likes of you."
"Btch..." Shii mumbled, taking her spot in the clear road. This was going to be done properly... or not done at all. Shikamaru would moderate. The fierce females took their spots, weapons brandished. "Let's go!" Shii yelled, both girls taking their starting moves.
Since I'm awful at fight scenes, we skip to a while later.
Both girls were dusty and breathing heavier. Shii made rapid hand signs, focusing her chakra in two different directions. "Twin Flame Jutsu!" two fireballs began to form in each hand, flung through the air at high rates. One was dead on accurate, one messily thrown. Temari easily dodged the lopsided throw, preparing her own jutsu. Kankuro barely danced out of the way.
"Cheap shot!" he yelled, the object he'd hidden falling into the flames. A beautiful flower blossom did a wilting dance under the fierce flame. As she stared, bewildered at what she saw jet of air knocked Shii flat on her rear. Soon the said redhead started chuckling as Shikamaru called the match.
"Didn't see that one coming. That was a nice match, sandy,"
"You didn't do too badly yourself, Shii," Temari replied with a small smile, unfortunately her brother was standing there gazing at the burnt flower.
"Damnit..." he mumbled, seeing Kya heading back down the road. They met eyes and he hurried into the building without a word.
"My bad!" Kerushii rubbed the back of her neck with a sweat drop, yelling after Kankuro. Kya arrived just in time for that.
"So guys, what'd I miss?" Bright hazel eyes gazed around. What went on?
"Nothing." Shii and Temari spoke together, and they both smirked after that. Whoa. Too alike. SCARY. The whole group headed toward the gates, and off they went.
It was a great scene, it'd be prettier if the girls were all nice looking instead of ready for battle, but still. Field umbrellas weren't the most gorgeous things, but they kept the sun away. It was a long way back to Konoha. For lack of something better... we're going to skip two days, to where they're almost there!
The gates would've been in sight, but the gang was in an awful patch of forestry. "This is du-" Shii had begin to mutter when there was the ever-so-cliche rustle in the bushes. The group froze, looking around. "I'll go scout ahead." The redhead concluded, moving quickly in front of the group.
That's when a theif showed up. Taka poised herself, ready to defend, Kya holding Temari and Shika back.
"Our job is to protect you," Taka said, looking her opponent in the eye, this was her chance to SHIIIIINE! She readied a hand sign as her enemy snickered.
Kya motioned for Temari and Shikamaru to follow her up further a bit. "She'll be fine, Kizuato will be here!" And they did, Temari making quiet comments about how sand nins are stronger. Since all you fans know how my fight scenes go, I need not explain about skipping to the end.
"Lightning Crash jutsu!" Roora cried, clapping her hands above her head to channel the lightning. That's right, CLAP ON, CLAP OFF! Bolts of electricity sparked in her hands as she separated them, sending a wave of lightning. Miss Takara panted lightly, seeing her opponent fall. She had won! Kizuato smiled, motioning for the tired girl to hurry to catch up with the group.
As they made their way though the trees, they came upon an interesting scene. Temari and Shikamaru had been knocked down and were getting up, and Kya was waving them out of the way. "For the last time, get back! I've almost got him!" she rushed her words, hands expertly darting to her ninja pack, another fiend from the woods. The enemy wasn't in great shape either, as Kya's hands rushed some signs, she yelled "This is NOT gonna be pretty!" The girl tossed the kunai, manipulating the air currents behind it to guide it, landing the kunai (with the white ribbon flowing behind it) square in the fiend's forehead. Everyone stood stunned, including Kya. She danced, though blood was everywhere. "I finally hit the target! Ya!"
As the crimson fluid drained from the dead man's skull, Kya winced as she walked up, pulling the kunai back. It was then that Shii emerged from her hiding place, with a rustle, right behind Kya.
"Nice shot, Kya," Shii smiled,
"Holy CRAP!" Kya jumped, whipping around, "You SCARED me!"
Everyone shared a nice laugh, and began walking again, more alert. Shii caught Kizuato's attention on the side though as everyone continued walking.
"Look oldie, I need to train. Those two are starting to be independent and not need me, and we can't have that!"
Kizuato laughed lightly, smiling "You want me to train you individually?"
"If you would be so kind..." Shii smirked, her slight sarcasm implied, "as to make me ANBU level, I'd be thankful."
"Deal. Let's get back home first though, shall we?" With a nod both took a swift pace to catch up with the group, soon through the gates and to the Hokage's office. Lady Tsunade was at her desk as usual, gazing up at those in front of her. Dismissing Temari and Shikamaru until later, she looked at the group of girls... and the drooling, staring Kizuato.
"Well, judging by the magnificent reports from Temari and Shikamaru, you three deserve a reward,"
"But there was no reward posted, Lady Tsunade..." Taka cut in respectfully,
"Well I'm feeling generous..." she smiled, "Your reward is an invitation to the Sand Village's special festival, formal. Enjoy yourselves."
"Sounds fun..." Kizuato grinned,
"Oh by the way, Kizuato," the hokage's voice was low and seductive, and the man's eyes nearly popped out of his head "The invitation is for the girls only. You are no longer needed to lead these three."
"Denied!" Shii laughed, accenting the first syllable. The females in the room laughed. Soon all four were dismissed about their daily duties. And all was great.
